The Remains of the Murderer Buried by His Father’s Side in Belle- fontaine Cemetery. The post-mortem examination: of Arthur Duestrow'’s brain took place Wednesday morning at the undertaking establishment of Eberle & Keyes, 1100 St. Ange avenue. It resulted in a conviction among the physi- cians participating in it that the organ was in an abnormal condition. This conclusion was reached from surface indications, after but a cursory examina- tion. A careful microscopic examination will follow and the results, as they appear to the gentlemen conducting it, will be giv- en to the public. Owing to the great divergence of opinion as to the true condition of Duestrow’s mind and the prejudices aroused by a discussion of it, both among laymen and scientists, $t is but fair to say that all save one of the physicians present at the post-mortem examination have believed up to the present time that the murderer was insane. The exception is Dr. Lewis G. Tandy, who #0 far as known, has never expressed an opinion in the case. In fact. he had never seen Duestrow until Tuesday morning, when ‘he visited him in the Union Jail a few hours prior to the execution. The hou: set for the post-mortem was B o'clock. Drs. Tandy, his assistant, B. P. Gadd, and George C. Crandall were the only physicians at the undertaking estab- lishment at that hour. Dr. J. K. Bauduy and his son Louis arrived shortly in a carriage. Then came Drs. John H. Simon and Phil Cogan, followed by Dr. A. H. ‘Bchott, the Duestrow family physician: Gov. Charles P. Johnson and Dr. Ludwig Bremer. Drs. Crandall, Simon, Bauduy, Bremer “wand Schott testified-to Duestrow's insanity @t the trial, the. first four named qualify- ing as experts on mental troubles. All the interested parties having arrived, ‘they were led by J. J. Eberle into the em- balming room, where the body of the dead murderer lay upon a table. It was stripped to the waist and work was immediately be- gun. Dr. Tandy was in charge of the surgical work. He opened his instrument case, took out his knives and saws and [aid them on a chair by the subject’s head. The other doctors gathered around. Gov. Johnson hung back, his nerves unused to such scien- tific butchery. With his sleeves rolled up and his apron on, Dr. Tandy parted the long black ‘locks which fell in a tangled mass from the dead man’s head, seized his shining knife and commenced to cut away the scalp. It was peeled back, leaving the crown of the skull} exposed. ; The doctors said its contour was not ab- normal, although it was not highly devel- oped. Vrhis done, he took his saw and carefully sawed through the thin bone, making a complete circle of the head on a level with the ears. “Take care, doctor,’” murmured Dr. Bau- duy, who sat in a.chair by the corpse’s head. “Don’t disturb any adhesions tha there may be on the dura.”' ! Dr. Bremer, who stood just over him, grunted his assent to this proposition. Dr. Tandy did take care. “Sharpen me a tooth-pick,’’ he said to Dr. Simon, Dr. Bauduy took a quill from his pocket and handed it to him. The latter felt into the streak he had sawed into the bone and continued sawing. “Better take the chisel,” put in Dr. Bau- duy. oo “I think so,"’ replied Dr. Tandy, and lay- ing down the saw he picked up the chisel and hammer. Slowly he went around the head until the top of the skull was all but off. Then he began prying. Every one grew interested. Even Gov. Johnson pulled his hands from his pock- ets and stepped forward. “Easy, easy,"’ whispered Dr. Bauduy. The prying kept on and in a moment the skull was off and Duestrow’s brain, cov- ered with streaks and spots of blood, was bare to the eye of the men who had been Studying it for three years. _ .. Having sponged it off, they all examined _ Mtclosely and concluded that so far nothing Wrong was apparent. There were no ad- hesions. Dr. Bremer took the skull, and, holding it @p to the skylight, peered through it. _ “It ig very thin,” was all he sald. “Then it became necessary to remove the i SOETOSp to the white tissue between oe tof an orange and the meat. ae xy ee YOu pr t me to do that?’ asked be my « a ‘Dr. Tandy, “It would help . my Gave way, and his nout removing the | took — scissors ect bs ©s, leaving the win ey and Dr. Cran- an Wy rye t satisfaction. 1 vy sub- since Tuesday. He looked very much as he did as he stood on the gallows telling of how he was dying for another man, save that the eyes were closed and around his neck the black bruise of the cruel rope was visible. The photographer having finished the oth- er organs of the body were looked into and found practically normal. There were evi- dences of tubercular germs in the lungs, but otherwise he was fairly sound. Before leaving the doctors expressed them- selves as being satisfied that the brain was abnormal. Drs. Bremer, Bauduy, Crandall and Simon gave out this statement of what they found: “The post-mortem disclosed evidences of diffuse hyperaemia of the brain and mem- branes. There existed some opacity and milky spots upon the arachnoid and pia membranes, the result of previous chronic leptomeningitis.”’ After the doctors left the undertakers, the body was prepared for burial. It was placed in a handsome casket and at 2 o’clock driven to Bellefontaine Cemetery without any religious services. Dr. Schott, Gov. Johnson, Dr. Simon and Attorney Heinz, representing Hulda Duestrow, were the principal mourners. The interment was made in the Duestrow lot, beside the mur- derer’s father. The only semblance of funeral service was the oration at the grave delivered by ex- Gov. Johnson. Tears streamed down the pale face of the distinguished lawyer as he delivered the following over the coffin of his ill-fated client: “To say anything at the grave of Arthur Duestrow was something I had not thought of until this morning. But the circum- stances surrounding his life since the morn- ing I met him after the fatal tragedy in which he became involved are of such a character as I think warrant me in making a few remarks which I deem due to his memory. Further, I am prompted to do so by the fact that I] was for years an intimate] friend of his father, and further became acquainted with his mother when she in- trusted his defense to me at the time of the unfortunate tragedy. No one has been his continuous associate since I took charge of his case but myself, and I wish to say here, in the presence of his remains, that he is the victim of a judicial murder. His offense in all its characteristics was ap- parently brutal, but God had afflicted him in a manner which should have made him irresponsible in law. “His offense, if any, should have been left to have been passed upon by his Maker. I never asked for anything during the prose- cution of the case, excepting his incarcera- tion in an insane asylum. I realized the fact that there was the place that human- ity dictated that he should have been in- carcerated. Time would have clearly brought out what I have known from the first—that the direst disease that man is subject to had become his lot. This ig no triumph of the law. It is a triumph of prejudice and ignorance as against everv effort of science and legal skill to protect a poor afflicted son of humanity. Every ef- fort that I have made to get a humane view of this man’s case has been thwarted by misrepresentation and abuse heaped up- on him, which he had no power to repel and which I was powerless to counteract. The efforts of the most skilled, careful and con- jnot; but the opinion of the world has been scientious physicians were of no avail. “All those expedients, that years of wis- dom and experience have incorporated into the law to protect the rights of the indi- vidual agains aggressions of high power or the cry of the mob, have been treated, not only with indifference, but I may say with contempt by the press, and by even sub- ordinate and superior courts. ‘“‘Even the paltry request that Christianity guarantees to the condemned has been de- nied by a weak and vacillating executive. It is said that it is a triumph.-of the law and the punishment of a victim. I say here, in the presence of you few, and in the presence of my God, of whom I have full recognition both as ‘to His power and His mercy, that it is a disgrace to the humanity of the age and an illustration of a retrogation to the cruel ascendency of the rule of ptejudice and sav- agery of past ages. This man was not al- lowed the privileges of Christian burial. “In his insane state he imagined that he was another being than Arthur Duestrow. Whether the ministrations of a Protestant preacher or a Catholic priest could have helped him in his clouded intellect I know that under such circumstances it is but right of the authorities ofa civilized State to guarantee it to the highest and the lowest. Time was not granted tothe few who were interested in his fate to consider -of this matter. There are no such signs of the usual ministrations at the burial here. “It can hardly be deemed sacrilegious, then, with such surroundings, for me to commend his soul to the merciful considera- tion of the great God. ‘After life’s fitful fever, he sleeps well.’ In the calm and dis- ssionate forum of scientific and historical] nvestigation, the character of his aet will be determined and his irresponsibility con- ceded. From out the darkened intellect, as he stood on the scaffold, there came words of forgiveness to those by whom, itn his im- aginary character, he was being wroonged. In the same spirit it is not unbecoming for me to say—God forgive all those who have done wrong to the poor insane atom of hu- manity whose remains we consgin to this 5 ‘ GOOD TICKET GN BE MADE. DEMOCRATS GETTING TOGETHER IN MOST WARDS. BUTLER CAUSING DISCORD. The Executive Committee Meeting To- Night Expected to Put Party Affairs in Good Shape. The Democratic City Exeentive Commit- tee will hold a meeting at the Lindell Hotel to-night at 8 o’clock, and receive the re- port of the Standing Committee on Privi- leges and Elections in regard to the con- tests over the election of Precinct Com- mitteemen. Much interest is being taken in this meet- ing, for the decisions in these contests will enable the committee to commission the complete list of 426 Precinct Committeemen in accordance with the plan of reorganiza- tion proposed by the State Committee. Outside of the First and Nineteenth Wards, where every precinct bred a con- test in the fight between Boss Butler’s men and his opponents, contests only arose in scattering precincts here and there over the city. One-half of the contests were in the two Butler wards. Politicians point to this as demonstrating that the St. Louis Democ- racy in general is being reorganized without any serious disputes or complications. The 426 precinct committeemen to be qual- ified at the meeting of the Executive Com- mittee to-night will occupy a prominent place hereafter in the party machinery of the city. They will combine with the City Executive Committee of Sixty-five to con- stitute the entire Democratic City Commit- tee. More than that, these precinct com- mitteemen will, on May 4, elect fifty-six ward members to serve on a new City Exec- utive Committee. The new City Committee will take charge of the spring campaign immediately, and the Democratic party will thus be enabled to do effective work in every precinct in the city along the lines of the-pilen of-reorgani- zation. Outside of the bitter factional fight cre- ated by the Butlers in the First and Nine- teenth wards the reorganization plan seems to be progressing with the utmost harmony. Of course, there are enthusiastic rivalries in various other wards, but it is agreed that after the committee has settled the contests everybody will join with his Democratic neighbors in working for the success of the entire Democratic ticket at the Mayoralty election. Confidence is already returning to the rank and file and the Democratic leaders say that with a precinct organization and a strong ticket: Democracy will certainly win at the polls. Men who have grown gray in the service of Democracy in St. Louis say that now is the most opportune time in years for a business man of undoubted loyalty to the Democratic party to become a candidate for Mayor. With this renewed hope and the revival of the old-time fighting spirit the leaders say no trouble w'll be found in nominating a ticket that is clean from top to bottom, and that will command the support of both the party workers and the best element of the city.

POLICE TRAP THEM JUST AS OP- ERATIONS ARE BEGUN. THREE BLACK AND ONE WHITE. They Were Making Their Second At- tempt on James Culley’s Shoe Store When Taken. Four young burglars were arrested in an alley between Cass avenue and O'Fallon street early Wednesday morning after an exciting chase by citizens, and police. Charles Buckner, a son of the cashier of the Westliche Post, is one of the burglars. The others are negroes—Arthur Cooper, Wm. Larkins and Leroy Wright. All have con- fessed to their guilt. The place they entered was James F. Cul- ley’s shoe store at 1404 North Twelfth street. It was theif second attempt. The first attempt was Monday _ night, They were at work on a window in the rear of the store, and had broken the glass, when they were disturbed by William Dall, who rooms upstairs. The burglars ran. Mr. Culley had his window repaired and reported the affair to the police. Patrol- men Kennedy, O’Gara and Timpkin thought the burglars would make another attempt, and they kept watch on the place. Mr. Cul- ley also kept a sharp lookout. About Il o'clock Tuesday night Culley went to the rear of his store. He opened the shutter and saw that the window had been tam- pered with. An entire pane of glass had been removed. Culley reported his dis- covery to the police and they suspected the burglars were close by. . The police waited in a shadow anticipat- ing the return of the burglars. They were not disappointed. At 2 o’clock they came back to finish their job. They opened the shutter and one was entering the window when the police closed in on them. The thieves ran with the officers after them. In the race through the alley the officers and citizens drew their revolvers and fired repeatedly. The thieves droppd their weap- ons and burglars’ tools and continued their efforts to escape. xs As they emerged from an alley to Twelfth street, between O’Fallon street and Cass avenue, they ran into the arms of Patrol- man ennedy, who captured Buckner, Wright and Cooper. Larkins escaped, but was arrested later at his home, 1329 North Tenth street. The police say this quartette, the oldest of whom is only 18 years old, have been suspected of participating in several rob- beries recently and have been under police surveillance for more than a week. The boys also admit they attempted to enter Culley’s store Monday night. They were locked up at the Fourth District Police Station. Warrants for burglary and larceny were issued Wednesday. ASSAULTED HIS WIFE. Matt Koppin Abruptly Stops Drinking and Goes Insane, Special to the Post-Dispatch. SEDALIA, Mo., Feb, 17.—Matt C. Koppin, a Telluride, Colo., jeweler, who was en route to Pittsburg, Pa., in company with his wife, became insane last night on a Mis- souri Pacific train and the couple stopped here to secure medical! attention. Koppin had been on a protracted drunk and abrupt- ly stopped drinking on Sunday, with the re- sult that nervous prostration followed. This morning he made a violent assault on his wife at Hotel Le Grande and she was saved from serious injury by the employes of the hotel. Koppin is now in jail and will be sent to the hospital.

HIGGINS NOT READY FOR COL. BELL’S SHOES. NO EXCISE COMMISSIONER. | The Incumbent Quits and the Appoint- ed Successor Won’t Take Charge Till He’s Ready. When Col. Nick Bell tears down his sign as Excise Commissioner and locks up the office in the old tobacco warehouse, Twelfth and Market streets, at 4 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, it is altogether probable that Mr. Higgins will not be present to receive the books as the Colonel’s successor. In that event Col. Bell declares positively that he will turn the books and all unpaid licenses over to City Comptroller Sturgeon and take a receipt for them, and then notify the Comptroller and the Police De- partment that he is no longer Excise Com- missioner. : Charles P. Hig returned from Jef- ferson City Tuesday night. When asked if he would be present to take charge of the Excise Commissioner’s office at 4 o’clock he said: “Co]. Bell has never notified me that he was going to step out. Does he not have to remain in charge until his successor is qualified, any way?” Then Mr. Higgins studied a moment and remarked that he did not care to discuss the matter. While not saying so in so many ward, Mr. Higgins intimated that he wonld re- main in the Election Commissioner’s office. Col. Bell asserts that he is not compelled to remain in the Excise Commissioner's of- fice until his successor qualifies, as the Ex- cise Commissioner is appointed by the Governor simply to serve at the latter's pleasure. The Colonel says he has resigned, and while the Governor has not informed him that his resignation was accepted, he pre- sumes it was because the Governor has ap- pointed Higgins to succeed him. Thus the Governor has demonstrated his pleasure, and the Colonel says that lets him out. “When I lock up the office to-day nobody will open it again in: this ey = said Col. Bell, ‘“‘because I control this ullding and nobody else has anything to say about So it appears that St. Louis may be with- out an acting Excise Commissioner for some time. “T did not go to Jefferson City to ask the Governor to appoint anybody to succeed me as President of the Election Board,”’ said Mr. Higgins. “I went there to advocate an amendment to the election law to permit the city on registration days to register sub- sequently.” WAITE IN TROUBLE, He Hoodooed Some $20 Gold Pieces for Springfield Ladies—and Kept Them. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Il., Feb. 17.—A.. A. Walite, alias Luke Leslie, is on trial in the Circuit Court charged with working a con- fidence game. The complaint was made by Mrs. Mary M. Brittin of Chicago, and it now develops that there were 4 large number of Springfield women who were taken in by Leslie for various amounts. Leslie claims to be a spiritulistic medium, and it was in this way that he worked en the confidence of his dupes. His plan was the same in every case. From Mrs. Jennie F. Spurrier, a dentist of Spring- field, he secured three $20 gold pieces, and was to return them after he had spiritually ma tized them, but before giving them back cloaked with power to keep away a hoodoo, he left for the South. He was brought back from Birmingham, Ala., and has been in jail several months. The case is exciting a great deal of attention and attracts great crowds of ladies, many of whom are of the best families of the capital. Leslie, in an interview, says he will prove the genuineness of his mediumistic wer in the court room, but Judge Creighton says he will not allow any buffoonery in his court. The witnesses against Leslie are mostly woffien, and they exhibit a re- luctance in testifying against him. While Mrs. Spu r ia the heaviest loser, other women lost gold pieces. ARKANSAS RELIEF.

SWOOP DOWN ON THE CAPITAL. ee They Beseech the Statesmen in Legis- lature Assembled to Recog- nize Their “Rights.” Special ‘to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb, 17.—The crowd of people that assembled in the Mis- sour! Senate chamber last night might eas- ily have been mistaken for a session of the Colorado, Utah or Wyoming Legislature. New women were there in abundance, and they were not silent new women, eith- er. In fact, the women swooped down upon the Missouri capital yesterday and last night they held forth in the Senate cham- ber. The purpose of the meeting was (to present argument in favor of Senator Pow- ers’ joint and concurrent resolution pro- viding that the voters of Missouri be al- lowed to determine whether or not the con- stitution shall be amended so that women may vote. Among those who took a prominent part in the proceedings were Mrs. J. R. Reavis, Mrs. Anna. Sneed Cairns, President of For- est Park University; Mrs. Victoria Conk- ling Whitney, President of the State Equal Suffrage Association; Mrs. May E. Boquet and Mrs. E. K. Trefney, all of St. Louis. Of these Mrs. Reavis, Mrs. Cairns and Mrs. Whitney made speeches, The argument was directed to the House and Senate Com- mittees on Constitutional Amendments, which met in joint session. The committees arrived at no conclusion, as the meeting was held simply for the purpose of listen:ng to the argument. The two committees sat in a group down by the foot of the President’s stand and the women looked the members of the com- mittee straight in the eye as they talked. The scene was really interesting. It was even more than interesting. It was strik- ingly novel here in staid old Missourt, where the old-fashioned woman—whose highest ambition is her home—'s still pre- sumed to be in the majority. Had a stran- aed from any of the equal suffrage States en suddenly dropped down into the Sen- ate chamber last night he would have felt perfectly natural so far as general sur- roundings were concerned. It was, in the main, a woman audience. Casual specia- tors who expected to see bloomers and oth- er insignia of the ‘‘coming woman” were disappointed. No bloomers were in sight. A 2-year-old child crawled down from its mother’s lap and toddled playfully about the Senate chamber, holding high carnival with a waste basket, which served the youngster as a football. Th's little incident shed a glimmer of homelike cheerfulness, tending to domesticate the otherwise “strong-minded’’ occasion. The mother of the playf.l boy baby was not one of the suffragist promoters. She was present sim- y @s a spectator, accompanied by her usband—a Senator from one of the inte- rior districts, where the women are sstiil content to be women of the old school. Mrs. Reavis was the first speaker of the evening. She was introduced by H. Mar- tin Williams, who acted as master of cere- monies, Mrs. Reavis made a very intelli- peat and straightforward talk in support of rer bel:ef on the voting proposition. She is a goo! speaker and is well informed on public matters. Mrs. Reavis was followed by Mrs. Anna Sneed Cairns, who talked at some length on the topic of female suffrage. Mrs. Cairns called attention to the fact that negroes and illiterate foreigners are permitted to vote, and she could not see the qpeatice in de- priving free-born, accomplished’ = white women from exercising the privilege, when there was no other reason except the fact that they happen to not be men. In detail Mrs. Cairns went on to point out States of the Union and foreign countries where woman suffrage prevails. Even in chilly Iceland the women are granted more recog- nition than they are here in enlightened Missouri, Mrs. Cairns said, for there they are allowed to vote, and in Russia. too— darkest Russia—equal suffrage prevails. The argument presented by Mrs. Cairns shows beyond doubt that she has a thor- ough knowledge of her subject, and with her command of language she is able to present her side of the question in clear, concise and entertaining style. At one int during her speech she told story which provoked much laugh- ter, peaking of the injustice of women not being allowed to vote, Mrs. Cairns said: “Out at Forest Park University there are twelve cultured women. When election day came around how do Et suppose we were represented? Well, I'll tell you. There was but one vote cast in representation of the University, and it was cast by the colored man who does janitor work and milks the cows—the only one about the place who could vote. Now, what do you think of such a regulation as this?’’ Following Mrs. Cairns came.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Dr. G. W. Hughey of Springfield delivered an address in the hall of the House of, Repre- sentatives last night. Dr. Hughey talked on the money question. He showed up the falla- cy of the gold standard, and pointed out the merits of bimetallism. There are few.men in this country who know more about the finan- clal system than does the Rev. Dr. Hughey. He has made a study of the question, and although he is a minister of the gospel for many years—probably half a century—with- ouj taking any part in politics, he is now talking free silver, because, as he says, he believes he is preaching gospel when he points out the way to better times for suf- fering humanity in this country. Speaker Parris presided at the meeting. Another meeting will be held next Tuesday night at which time the movement to organize a State Silver League will be perfected. Repre- sentatives Ward and Dyer are leaders in the movement. TOO MANY TRACKS. Senator Busche’s Street Railway Bill Is Dead. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 17.—At a meeting of the Senate Committee on Rail- roads and Internal Improvements held last night Senator Busche’s bill to repeal what is locally known in St. Louis as the “third parallel clause’’ was considered at great length. Argument was produced on either side, and finally the committee went into executive session and killed the bill with startling rapidity. The point to the Busche bill was to secure a repeal of the law which now prevents street car companies from er distance than three blocks apart. The idea is to leave some of the streets passable for vehicles. The question was argued pro and con, but the committee seemed to grasp the argument of Senator Mott, who ap- peared as a leader in opposition to the Busche bill. Another bill considered by the Senate Committee on Railroads and Internal Im- provements was the Brewster bill pertain- ing to railroad extension. This bill was reported - favorably. Following is a ver- batim copy of the Brewster bill: Section 1. That Article 2 of Chapter 42 of the Revised Statutes’ for the year 1889, be, and the same is hereby amended by adding thereto the following new sec- tion, to be known as section 2568A. Section 2568A.

CANTON, O., Feb. 17.—Dr. Phillips at 11:30 left Maj. McKinley’s room much pleased with the improvement of his’ condi- tion. ‘Maj. McKinley is decidedly better,” Feb. 17.—The tellers to be found anywhere within the ros- ter of Missouri public men. Here is a story that Senator Vandiver told a party | of newspaper men one night recently, while | they were lounging around on the outside | waiting for one of those tiresome executive | sessions to end. | “T once thought I would be a lawyer,” the Senator said, ‘and I even went so far as to open an office and wait for clients. } This was long ago, way back in ole Virginia, | and I might have finally built up a good | practice. But I quit. And I am now going | to tell you why: was the owner of a very ordinary mule and I kept him in a pasture | near the town where I entered the practice of law. Back in Virginia they tax mules. They also require lawyers to pay a tax in| the form of license. I paid my law tax, and then I paid the tax on my mule. _I observed that the amounts were exactly the same. This set me to thinking, and I finally | reached the conclusion that if a lawyer was subjected to no more tax than a common mule, I would get out of the profession, And this 's why I am not practicing law to- | ay.’’ SAYS IT IS GOOD. Speaker Farris Talks of the Amended Ward Bill. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 17.~—The Ward bill which provides for the proper assessment and taxation of street rail- ways, which was amended yesterday so as to include all cities of the State, instead of St. Louis and Kansas City only, has been given precedence in printing on its return trip to engrossment, and Mr. Ward still has | hope of passing it. The fact that the bill | has been sent back to engrossment after having been through that course once be- fore, will delay its final passage, but there is oe time enough if the House is so dis- osed. “I think the amendment made to the Ward bill is really a good idea,”’ it cannot so readily be attacked on the grounds of class legislation.

It Is Believed the Powers Will Sanc- tion the Annexation of the Island. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 17.—The Coun- cil of Ministers. as a result of its all-day session at the Yildiz Kiosk yesterday, has decided to leave the pacification of Crete to the Powers. This is regarded as a wise decision in the face of a complicated situa- tion in Crete, where the flags of Russia, France, Great Britain, Italy and Austria are fiying alongside the Turkish standard, while Greece is seemingly defying the Pow- ers. ; The Ministerial Council also decided to send Karathedori Pasha to Crete as Im- perial High Commissioner, to adopt mili- tary measures on the Greek frontier, as previously intimated; to appoint Marshal Edham Pasha, who directed the opera- tions against the insurgents of Zeitoun in 1896, to command the Turkish troops at Flas- soda and call out the Redifs (first reserves) of the Third Army Corps, which is now at Salonika. These measures, however, are for purely defensive purposes and are taken in order to enable the Turkish Government to be prepared for all eventualities. The Sultan has informed the Ambassadors in Greek circles, but it is not believed to signify anything more serious than a warn- ing to the Christians and Greeks to cease fighting while the powers deliberate and come to some definite understanding re- garding the future of Crete. It is still believed that the powers will in some manner sanction the annexation of Crete by Greece. NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—A dispatch to the Herald from St. Petersburg says: The Russian Foreign Office has before it very accurate and impartial reports about Crete from the Consuls. All agree with the re- ports made by the other foreign Consuls that it was the mischief-making agitators who want only to work up the Cretan revo- lutionists and immediately accused the Mussulmans of being the offenders. These agitators are shown up in their true light. Hence, Russia and the other powers were unanimous in regard to the course of ac- tion te be taken, and it ig certain they wil act with the firmness which is necessary with such lawless and traditionally turbu- lent people. As a diplomatist sald to-day: “In truth, the embassadors in Constantinople are to blame. Five months ago they were given the responsibility to execute the reforms the Sultan had granted. Up to now they have accomplished no portion of their s- sion, the first and most important part of which was to organize a police force with foreign officers, and second, the re- organization of the law courts. Had they organized ‘the police force at once, instead of delaying, the present troulbes would not have taken place. To show how little Greek alarmists reports, to which even the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs lefids himself, are credited, the stock market to- day was buoyant all around. SEAL QUESTION. The Senate Adopts Reso!utions Call- ing for Information on Brit- ish Correspondence. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—The Senate to- day agreed to resolutions asking informa- tion regarding correspondence with Great Britain on the seal question and directing a suspension of the grant of special privileges in the Yellowstone Park Canyon. a TYPES OF GREEK SOLDIERS. of the Powers that, in view of the aggres- | sive attitude of Greece, he has been obliged to adopt measures required by the situa- tion. At the same time the Sultan took the occasion to express his satisfaction at the landing of the detachments of marines at Canea from the warships of Russia, France, Great Britain, Italy and Austria for the restoration of order in Crete. In spite- of this peaceful outlook, it is known that the debarkation of the Greek forces in Crete caused a great sensation at Yildiz Kiosk, and it required the use of much tact on the part of the Ambassadors to prevail upon the Porte to accept the sit- uation as it is now presented. Anti-Turk manifestations are reported to have occurred at Arta and Prevessa, in Thes- saly, shots having been fired, and a Turkish frowtier guard has been wounded. It is hoped, however, that no further trouble will occur, although the Greeks are known to be gathering troops near the frontier. The Sultan seems to be well aware that Greece would not have acted as defiantly as she has done without having at least one owerful friend behind her, and it is this eature of the compHcations which is hav- ing the most calming effect upon the Turks, who also see in the abandonment of Crete to Greece a possible loophole of escape from further and more important changes in the map of the Turkish Empire. of its being an ill wind which blows nobody ood, and he is credited with hoping that is obedience to the wishes of the powerful friend, or friends, of Greece, in the matter of Crete may be placed to his credit when the long discussed and much postponed “‘re- forms” of the Turkish Empire come to the front again. The action of Greece may have been nothing more than coincidence, it is re- marked, but it is out of such coincidences that Oriental diplomacy is framed. There was an incident at the People’s Theater in the Stamboul quarter yesterday evening which is regarded by many people as being an attempt to provoke another out. break upon the part of the Mussulmans, Two Albanian soldiers of the Yildiz Palace Guard, the most trusted troops of the Sul. tan, were among the audience, and sudden. ly these soldiers discharged their revolvers in the air, causing a terrible panic. A rough-and-tumble fight followed, during which a bystander was wounded, and the two guardsmen were arrested and taken to the nearest police depot, previous to bein handed over to the military authorities o the Yildiz Kiosk. It has been announced in the newspapers here that the Turkish Minister at Athens, Asim Bey, has been appointed a member of the Council of State, that he is to be recalled immediately and that the Greek Minister here, Prince Maurocordato, is to be given his passports, but as this dispatch is sent the report has not been confirmed, and the Sultan may have been induced by the Ambasasdors to delay the matter in- ODincanhs have been found posted in the mosques demanding the death of the Sultan.

Mr. Flint went into elaborate explanation but was brought to halt by the chairman, who said “You are explaning too much.’ “What companies were you interested in directly?” asked the chairman. mitted that he had been interested in the Lycoming Rubber Co., but could not recol- ot a be what extent. Senator Lexow con- ued: “Is it not a fact that the United States Rubber Co. paid the bankers a commission of 2% per cent for selling the stocks of the various companies?’ The witness hesitated and Senator Lexow, pounding this desk, said: “Can’t you an- ewer yes or no?’ “I can ascertain,’’ said the witness. “Was it near $500,0007"’ “T think that was the amount,”’ the wit- ness replied, slowly. Mr. Flint said he had no knowledge that the President of the New Brunswick Rub- ber Co. received an order for the manufac- ture for a certain brand of rubber, but nev- ertheless had closed down the concern and discharged the employes. “Do you know t at the time you dis- char these men and clo this tory. the United States Rubber Co. purch the Colchester factory, closed that down and threw 500 men out of employment” “TIT don’t know.”’ “Did not the New Brunswick factory close down in the dead of winter jn 1895, throw- ing all its employes out of’ work when it was offered a contract to produce what is know nas third rate goods which could have kept the factory going all the winter?” “T don’t know.” Mr. Flint said that the United States Rub- ber Co. is producing better goods at a small- er cost, adding that the wage scale of its employes had not been sliced off at any time.

The law forbids me to do anything of that kind. “It has been charged, I see, that I was in a sceme to remain in the Election Com- misisoner’s office until after the Demo- cratic primaries were held, so I could iend certain aid to Noonan and the selection of udges and clerks for those primaries.

Addressed to a Trust Company and Re- fers to Senators Who Will Not Oppose “the Bill.” Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 17.—Some people may think that Chauncey Ives Filley has nothing to do with the Republican end of the present Missouri Legislature. Richard C, Kerens, the arch enemy of Fil- ley, walked away with the complimentary vote for United States Senator, and this created the general opinion that Boss Filley Was no longer paramount. And there is yet no reason to say that he is paramount with this Assembly, but there is proof that the great Cotton Sock warrior is aware that the legislative wheels are revolving, and that he is taking a hand in suggesting leg- islation. Or, in other words, + still has some followers to whom he issues diagrams of the situation and to whom he points out the path in which they shall pace. Here i the proof: 7 The foregoing is a letter that was never finished. It is written on a Madison House letter head. Had the unknown writer contin- ued a little further he might have given out some information as to what is meant by “‘the bill.’”” There is more than one bill pend- ing in the Senate, and the letter-writer leaves a curious public to guess which bill he is writing about. But one thing is certain. He makes it plain that Boss Filley has been using the wires. Sometimes here of late ‘‘de Ole Man”’ gets his wires crossed and this may be one of rhose times. And then again it may not be. By the abrupt termination of the communication shown herein, there is a dense veil of mystery. The man who started to write this letter and didn’t finish it, is undoubtedly a care- less man. Otherwise he would have de- stroyed the start he made before he ever let the partially written sheet get out of his possession. The unfinished letter, a fac simile of which is given herein, was found in Jefferson City to-day whirling along High street before a gentle breeze. The mystery May never be explained, and it is likely that the man who started to write the letter decided that he would not write it. Or he may have grown weary of writing with a pen and employed a sten- ographer. Somebedy should relieve a suf- fering public with an early explanation of what this means. Some pecple are guessing that ‘‘the bill’ may be something that is not wanted by the oe magi eapene It might mean the bill which seeks to prohibit corporations from becom- ing administrators, receivers or curators. BOTHERED BY A GULLY. Park Commissioner Ridgley Atrang- ing an Effective Remedy. Park Commissioner Ridgley has been los- ing sleep for some time over a troublesome gulch just northwest of the Cottage. It has been filled up ‘several times, but al- ways washes out again and becomes un- sightly. Its appearance was further marred by Chris Schweickardt dumping a lot of debris into after the fire at the Cottage; Mr. rotpsaeg | has a plan to overcome the difficulty. roadway will be constructed up the course of the gulch from the south side of the lake, and a wooden bridge built over the River Des Peres. It will be a pretty winding driveway, and at the top of he knoll a vista will be arranged to per- mit a view of the whole lake. Mr. Ridgley says his appropriation is run- ning low, but he thinks he can build the road and bridge and still come out even on the fiscal year. He says proudly that this is more than his predecessors have done. CITY WILL SAVE BY IT. Street Sprinkling Bids Much Lower Than Last Year. The bidding on the sprinkling contracts for the ensuing season just opened was spir- ited. The city is divided into fifty-four dis- tricts, which were bid on separately. The sprinkling territory last season com- prised 473 miles of streets. The Assembly has passed a bill adding twenty-three miles for the coming season. Notwithstanding this enlargement the aggregate of the lowest bids was $103,332 as against $107,054 last year. The Board of Public Improvements will make the awards of the contracts at Fri- day’s meeting. OMITTED THE NAME. A Tennessee Detective Thinks He Has Located Somebody.

Amending the Ward bill, for the taxa- tion of street railway properties in St. Louis and Kansas City, by making the bill of general application, should not im- peril the ultimate success of the measure. Small street railway corporations in interior towns and cities have no more reason to fear over-assessment at the hands of the State Board.of Equalization than at the hands of local assessors. As a rule all their tangible holdings, includ- ing thelr full mileage, are assessed al- ready. Such corporations pay interest only on limited capital and are not ina position to pay anything for undervalua- tions. If members of the Legislature will con- sult the official statistics set out in the last annual ‘report of the State Labor Commissioner, they can easily figure out how the revenues of the State can be greatly increased by a fair assessment of street railway lines in St. Louis, Kansas attempted to erect a strong and beautiful structure thereon. The attempt has been a failure, as was inevitable. Will the people be warned before it is too late? THE CHARITY BALL. Ig the charity ball to be abandoned? If so, it ought to be because it is impossible to hold it, and not for any trivial reason. It is to be hoped that the ladies will yet find a way to accomplish their purpose, and thus obtain the money which is so much needed at this time to relieve the destitute for whom so many appeals have been made. Is it possible that those who could aid this ball have persuaded themselves that, because the weather is pleasant, unusual efforts in behalf of charity are no longer necessary? It may be well to reprint the estimates of the number of destitute in St. Louis given by Dr. Finney, of the Provident Association, a little more than two weeks ago. The figures are as fol- lows: Persons unemployed in St. Louis.....>.. 20,000 Persons who need either clothing, fuel Total number relieved by organized and private charity y Number still in need of relief It is true that since that time a wealthy donor has given $20,000 to the Provident Association, but Dr. Finney called atten- tion to the fact that this would not by any means relieve the destitution, al- though it would do much good. If this donation has caused any one to think that the destitute are now amply provided for, let him consider the fact that this dona- tion, while large in the aggregate, simply meant $1.00 for each unemployed person in the city, even if the money had been handed direct to those needing it. Would true charity say to the hungry and un- clad: “Here is a dollar. Let it suffice you for the entire winter. Go and hunger no more!” Chicago is to have no charity ball be- cause a couple of society leaders dis- agreed. Is St. Louis to miss this oppor- tunity for doing good through sheer apathy and indifference? 2 —t-_---- THE STEEL RAIL BOOM. There is a rush of orders from railroads to rolling mills for steel rails at the cut price. A great many railroad companies, either insolvent or embarrassed, have for two or three years past neglected necessary repairs to foadbed. With steel rails at $28 per ton and over, such corporations could not afford the expense of replacing old material with new. Only such repairs as could n6 longer be avoided were made. The deep cut in prices since the steel pool dissolved has brought about the present rush. The rush itself, however, is no indication of a permanent revival in business. The railway managers real- ize that within a few months one-of the parties to the struggle in the steel and iron market will force the other to terms, and that after the Trust is re-established prices will be higher than ever. It is a matter of easy business calcula- tion to discover that it will pay any rail- way company to borrow money to buy steel rails at present prices for the pur- pose of making repairs which cannot be long postponed in any event. So much for a morning contemporary’s erratic figuring of a business revival on the basis of a temporary steel rail boom. _—— o_o GETTING READY FOR “PIE.” Election Higgins also denies being in any Noonan deal.

So far the evidence seems to be in favor of a Mr. Wolf- skill, who planted e'ghty acres of apricots and peaches and 6,000 grapes in the town of Winters, in Selena County, in 1851. In 1855 the first apricots from these trees were so.d. An eminent Philadelphian, Dr. Samuel D., Gross, will be the second physician in this cOuntry to be. honored with a monument to his memory.

Her works have found their best sale among the English nobility.

Boston has an octogenarian born in a to be harder to interview than the Popes Parliament is dissolved on the defeat of any important measure submitted to ‘the peo- ple’s assembly.”" This is the repository of all the real official power of the English people, and is ‘“chameleon-like”’ in reflecting the most evanescent wish and will of the people,which is and should be the “supréme law’’ of the land. This single chamber has the merit of being swift, sure, true and sat- isfactory in the administration of all the affairs of government. It is like the Esqui- mau sled used in the aretic regions de- scribed by Dr. Kane in 1855, composed of walrus bones and thongs and made to fit any inequality in the ice hummocks and ab- solute proof against break, fracture or wreck. It is the most perfect political in- strument to date. The American constitution adopted in 1787, created under the guiding minds of Jeffer- son, Madison and Hamilton, with its three balanced powers, the executive, legislative and judicial, each having a real veto power over the other, was the embodiment of the political wisdom of the ages up to a period dating back 110 years, in a theoretical and an avowedly written constitution contain- ing only twenty-four short sections under seven articles printed in ten ordinary pages, embracing only 7,000 words. It could all be printed in three ordinary columns of an ordinary modern newspaper, The statutory laws in many ponderous volumes passed in 100 years are like the limbs and twigs added to a century’s growth of an oak tree, and the Supreme Court decisions in long rows of learned tomes, interpreting and con- struing these twenty-four sections and stat- utes, are like the multitudinous leaves that grow and develop on these limbs and twigs of the tree, the whole making a mighty and a safe, but not perfect shelter for the American people. The legislative third branch is again di- vided into the House of Representatives and Senate, each body invested with a great and co-ordinate power, with a real and a great power both of prerogative, initiative and veto in the executive, and a nullifying power in the Supreme Court. To make our system as flexible and per- fect as the English, the power of the Exec- utive should be greatly reduced, his term correspondingly lemethened, and the two houses telescoped into one witha sufficient representation. The Cabinet should be dic- tated by the majority in power in Congress, and be dissolved on the rejection of any great and leading measure, and all the real power located in a Congress drawn fresh from the people and at numerous short in- tervals. In this way it would be more adapted to the genius of the Anglo Saxon- Celtic American race. It is now too cast- jron and not sufficiently flexible. This modification is sure to come. JAMES M.

He was a bit more particular than the maid, and it was three minutes or more, which is a long time on the stage, before he cleared the stage of all hands and signaled the orchestra. The curtain was rung up, Mr. Kellard be- gan the scene and Mrs. Leslie-Carter, in a violet-colored wrap, sighed “Oh, dear me,” and with a gait like Mary, Queen of Scots, en route te her cold chop, walked from her dressing-room and dropped in # chair at the foot of the belfry, which had already been constructed and put in place for use in the third scene. This third scene is “the” scene of the Play, the scene which harrows the souls of the audience, and also that of Mrs. Leslie- Carter, but in her case only after it ls over and she has realized what she has done. . he scene is known in stage terms as a dark change,” that is to say, a quick change of setting while the stage and audi- torium of the theater is in complete dark- ness. It is generally accomplished in less than one minute, so it can be imagined easily how an actor or actress has to “get a hustle’ to change positions. The instant Mrs. Leslie-Carter left the stage, before the dark change, she ran to the rear of the belfry and to her resin-box, placed conveniently near by, plunged her slender hands into the sticky yellow pow- der and waited for the lights. Then she stood for a second in view of the audi- looks before she risks her life for the man she loves. As every is there with his wife, or some else's wife—as the variety comedian would this pose thrills and fires the house to the extent of frenzy. It is now Mrs. Leslie-Carter’s cue for ac- tion. Frantically shrieking that the deaf old grave digger below shall not ri the bell and alarm the guards who would kill her fleeing sweetheart, she tea up the steps to the platform, where the mammoth instrument of brass and tron is suspended. Here’s where the resin-box does its best. Mrs. Leslie-Carter grips the and braces herself. Unseen stage hands pull a rope and the body of the actress shoots out into space. Ticklish place for a fragile woman, even if it is only make believe. Should her hands sltp. which, thanks to the resin, they haven't done y rs. e- Carter would probably land fifteen feet away against a mass of scenery or else strike the whitewashed, brick-upholstered side walis of the rear of Mr.: Pat Short’s playhouse. Holding on like grim death Mrs. Leslie- Carter is swung backwards and forwards possibly a dozen times. The house cheers— this statement goes, no matter where the lay is being presented—and the curtain is owered. ‘ A man stands on the platform or a few feet below the bell. The muscular maid is near by also. Their strong arms receive the ac- tress gently as she drops her hold on the clapper, in this case fitted with a T so her hold may be easier and firmer. The man and the maid then carry Mrs. Leslie-Carter down to the stage. She is quite exhausted. What woman wouldn’t be? Let one of them in these days of lightning elevators sprint up a single flight of stairs, and watch how she throws herself into the first chair she sees and : “Good gracious, I can’t get my when she is brought from the belfry. The audience demands her in front of the cur- tain, and she has to go, four and five times, and bow and smile as if she had just stepped from a brougham.

CAPTIVE JOY. — Then that maid has to work. Her burn- ing interest in the stage-se ne opening of the act is ex comes maid, doctor, gulde, friend to the limp actress ali at once that certainly can’t be an easy job. It means twenty minutes’ work in all five capacities, for about that time fore Mrs. Leslie-Carter comes last act, clad tn black and with lid face and shrinking manner to give rself to Kelcey, her soldier lover. That paleness and manner is demanded in the part, and the entrance is most ef- fective. But the powder-puff and feigned emotion do not contribute it. It is the natural result of an immediate ten minutes of mental and physical exer- tion which few women in St. could stand night after night. And still the women in the audience say with a rippling laugh as they are leaving Congressman Grosvenor, one of the original McKinley. men, and one who stands as near the President-elect as any other, except Mark Hanna, has made a speech at a club dinner in the East which has mightily stirred the civil service re- formers all over the country. In the course of his remarks, the Ohio Congressman took occasion to say that (the Republican party should abandon what is styled the merit system and go back to the ancient principle of ‘‘to the victors belong the spoils.’’ He denounced as.un-American the efforts so persistently made during the last four years to create an official aristocracy in this country.

But hé is lacking either in * the power of analysis of evidence neces- Sary to success at the bar, or in that quality of courage which, in such a case, would have entered a nolle prosequi, no matter what strong influences, political or otherwise, were behind this outrageous prosecution.

These were the first meet- _ Inge called by the Democratic, party in Bt. Louis since the election, and yet they wanted to know what Lincoln, one of the “plain people’ who attributed all his suc- cess to the fact that he understood them and had their sympathy and support, would think of laws designed to put and keep in official positions only the edu- cated classes. This is going much farther than the Chicago platform went in denunciation of life tenure. Grosvenor talks like a man upon whom has been laid the responsibil- ity of preparing his party for a desperate violation of its platform pledges. Nothing has been surer than that McKinley must yield to the “spoilsmen” of his party. The Post-Dispatch has held that view ever since his election, but it has never contemplated the possibility of Republi- can repeal of a law which can be so easily evaded as can the one under which Mr. Roosevelt established a despotism. Re- peal of the law is the logic of Grosvenor’s attack on competitive examinations, but perhaps Grosvenor aims only at dis- crediting the law in the public mind preliminary to making it a dead letter. Be that as it may, Grosvenor has startled the mugwumps greatly. They are telling Mr. McKinley that he was elected on the issue of civil service Te- form, and they are threatening him with dire consequences if he fails to keep the partKs pledges, There never was a married woman who Sympathized with an old bachelor, and there never was a married man who didn't.

Her Husband Explains the Litigation Over the Patten Estate. “One would infer from the dispatch to the Globe-Democrat from Washington touching the litigation between Mrs. Glover and her sisters, that she and I had brought the ac- tion just determined in the Supreme Court to recover her full share of the estate, ig- noring $100,000 received on her wedding day,”’ said John M. Glover to a reporter. ‘“‘Noth- ing could be further from the truth. That action was brought by the Misses Patten against Mrs. Glover as «xecutrix of her mother. So far from desiring to receive $100,000 more than her sisters, on Oct, 3, 1888, just after Mrs. Patten’s death, Mrs. Glover decided to account voluntarily for this sum as an advancement, with my cordial ap- proval, and a letter was addressed to Sen- ator Stewart, counsel for the Misses Patten. Here igs a copy of it.”’ Mr. Glover produced a missive reading as follows: WASHINGTON, Oct. 3, 1888.—Senator Stewart, Senate Chamber, city—Mvy Dear Sir: In pursuance of vour suggestion, I have examined nnis on Probate Law. I fail to find any*“statute of the United States on the gubject of advancements. The provision to which you refer seems to be found on page 81, being a provision with waich I am familiar in the law of Maryland. This act was passed in 1799. and appears without change in the Maryland code of 1860, sec. 126, art. %3, and in the code of 1878, sec. 7, page 41%. Sec. 31, page 407, of the same code, de- fines the term and limits its effects to real estate. In the case of Cole against Sim- monds et al., 45th Md. 346, it is decided that the question of advancement cannot arise at all except in case of absolute intestacy and the same doctrine is pre- viously laid down in Stewart and wife st Patterson executors, 8th Gill. d. Therefore, if Mrs. Glover agreed to have the bonds given her at her mar- riage charged ainst her in the distr'!- bution, it is in the nature of a complete pre on. her part to her sisters and should appreciated accordingly. Our under- standing is that in the proceedings about to be taken to get the estate into shape, you will represent the other heirs only, and I will represent Mrs. Glover only. e prefer this, as it will give them the benefit of independent advice of the high- est order and free me from some of the embarrassments of my position. Yours very respectfully, JOHN M. GLOVER. Mr. Glover continued: ‘‘Senator Stewart testified that this offer was made and that Mrs. Glover had always been willing to account for this wedding gift as art of her share. This would have paid the egacies and made everybody equal. Her sisters, however, deciined the offer ard brought up some o]d claims as wards, with ten or twelve years’ interest thereon. Mrs. Glover could have joined in this programme, but as the personalty was but a smal] part of the estate, and the real estate for tech- nical reasons did not pass by the will, this would have consumed all of the personal eatate and defeated a legacy of $20,000 to Mrs. Patten’s brother, $20,000 to her sister and $5,000 to a hospital in California, which Mrs. Glover desired paid. She threfore fought these claims and forced the payment of the legacies. She sent a_ check the legacies, which her sisters refused to countersign, they being also executrices. She then applied for-an order of court, which they defeated by swearing that the estate was insolvent. “Eventually she compelled them to pay the legacies. She was not a party in her in- dividual capacity, nor did she advance any claim or ask any distribution in the suit just decided. I was party defendant thereto, nominally, simply because I had the good fortune to be the husband of the executrix. Neither I nor Mrs. Glover would have lunged the estate of Mrs. Patten into lit- gation and divided the family for $100,000, nor did we do so. All these facts are with- out question and of record, and I trust you will publish my statement, in order that our friends may understand them.” The Modern Way Commends itself to the well-informed, to do pleasantiv and effectually what was for- meriy done in the crudest maner and dis- agreeably as well.

Fred Koch, a well known music teacher and gymnast, took a cheap filled watch to J. J. Martin's jewelry store at 2006 Gravois avenue for repairs nearly a year ago. He told Mr. Martin he could not do without a timepiece, and asked that one be loaned him while his was being fixed. Martin had heard frequently of Koch and he did not hesitate. He gave him a watch valued at $80, and told him he would have Koch's watch mended in a week. Wednesday Martin and his attorney, Carl Ungar, called at the Four Courts and asked for a warrant against Koch, alleging em- bezzlement as ailee. Martin said that from the time he temporarily exchanged watches with Koch he has never seen him. He has written a numberof times, but Koch has replied that he was robbed and that the waich was taken from him. e Assistant Peeing Attorney said the warrant would be issued, and requested Ungar to draw up the information.

Assaulted Samuel Wolfington for Not Employing Him as His Attorney. Jefferson D. Storts, the notorious Four Courts attorney, committed an unprovoked assault upen Samuel B. Wolfington in the Sheriff’s office at the Four Courts at noon Wednesday. F abe After knocking his‘victim down, Storts was allowed to leave the building. Wolfing- ton will apply for a warrant, however, and Storts will be given a hearing before Judge Murphy. . Wolfington was arrested a few days ago charged with robbing Frank Lutz. Wol- fington was coming from Memphis. J.utz came from Arkansas. They met on -teamboat and became friendly. They rent- ed a room at 1107 Clark avenue kept by Storts’ mother. During the night Luta’s money disappeared. He thought Wolfing- ton took it. The,latter was arresied and Was tried In Judge Murphy's court Wednes- day. There was no proof against him and he was discharged. Wolfington Gani into the Sheriff's office to get the money, $28, that him when he was arrested. Storts followed him into the hall from the courtroom and angrily asked Wolfington why he had not employed him to defehd him. He called Wolfington vile names and cursed him be. fore numerous witnesses. When Wolfington asked Chief Deputy Sheriff Huebler for his meney, . Storts }stepped forward and sid the money was his. Wolfington gefied it and insisted on receiving his money. Storts called him a liar and suddenly struck Wolfington a blow in the face with his fist. The man fell and Storts attempted to strike him again, when the deputy sheriffs interfered and led Storts uway. Storts has figured in all*the courts as a defendant, from the Police Court up. He is now under a two years’ penitentiary sen- tence for robbery. The Supreme Court is expected to pass on his case this week, HUNT WAS TOO PROUD. Wouldn’t Associate With His Old Pals and They Slugg3d Him. Louis Fingerling was fined $15 by Judge Stevenson Wednesday for disturbing the peace of Joseph Hunt and wife of 3721 Cass avenue. According to Witnesses Fingerling and John Ballard walked unannounced into Hunt’s home while the family were at sup- per. Ballard informed Hunt he was going to be slugged and made at him, Fingerling attacking Mrs. Hunt. The table was overturned, the lamp and dishes broken, pictures knocked from the walls and furniture broken. After beating the couple the intruders retired. Fingerling was arrested later, but Ballard escaped to Illinois. Mrs. Hunt attributed the attack to her husband’s refusal to join the two in their plunder'tng of houses and other jobs. Fingerling admitted that Hunt was at one time a member of the “gang,”’ but since he got the woman has turned honest and “‘stuck up.”’ SHOT AT A FOOTPAD. And Michael Fitzgeraid Went to Prison for So Doing. Michael Fitzgerald was before Judge Ste- venson Wednesday for discharging fire- arms and resisting an officer. Fitzgerald claimed he was walking on Easton avenue near Pendleton with William Krause Sunday afternoon, when two men stopped them and asked the time. Fitzger- ald took out his watch and one of the men grabbed for it. failing to.get it, both strangers ran to- ward Pendleton avenue. Fitzgerald drew a revolver and gave chase, discharging the weapon. Officer Lange heard the shot and arrested the pursuer with the weapon in his hand. Fitzgerald protested and attempted to pull away from his captor. He claims Lange struck him with a pistol His story was substantiated by Krause. Judge Stevenson held that he had,a right to pursue the robber and discharged him. BROWN OPENS HEADQUARTERS.

Mike Golden fell seventy-five feet from the third story of the Liggett & Meyers’ new factory building, at Tower Grove and Fol- s0m avenues, to the basement, and escaped without injury. ‘Golden lives at 4358 Hunt avenue. He Was at work on the third story and started to roll a wheelbarrow loaded with rubbish on to a dummy elevator. The engineer was hasty, and beforé the wheelbarrow was on the elevator floor, the elevator started on its rapid descent. Golden clung to the wheelbarrow and was dragged into the shaft, There was nothing to check his fall. He and the wheelbarrow landed in a heap at the bottom of the/shaft. Other workmen hastened to the place, ex- pecting to find Golden’s body horribly mangled. The engineer. who was respon- sible for the accident, was frightened out of his wits, Before any of his companions had reached the shaft Golden arose and began to stretch his limbs. He turned to his friends and.said he guessed he was not hurt much, But he was mad. He limped over to where the engineer stood and delivered a lecture on carelessness and then resumed work. A POLICE MISTAKE. Let a State’s Evidence Man Give Them the Slip. . William Connelly and George Heinz, whom the police charge with being members of the notorious Convent street gang, were fined $25 each in Judge Peabody’s court Wednesday on a charge of idling. On Feb. 10 a car of the Iron Mountain road was broken into and $250 worth of property stolen. Adam Randolph was ar- rested by Patrolmen Stracgnn and Burns on suspicion, and he agreed, it is claimed, to tell who the thieves were, in considera- tion of the case against him being nolle prossed. The case against Randolph Was dismissed and Randolph said Heinz and Connolly were the guilty parties. Heinz and Connolly were arrested, but when the officers attempted to work up the case against the prisoners Randolph could not be found. Accordingly the prisoners were sent to the Police Court for idling. the policemen for their carelessness in al- lowing Randolph to get away from them and destroying the case against the alleged burglars.
